San Francisco Chronicle: Thomas
Stevens, the Bicycles. declares that the
worst people whom he encountered in his
tour Of the world on wheels were the
Chinese. He was mobbed in an inland
city of the Celestial empire and narro Wy
escaped with his life. He would have re-
ceived the same treatment no donbt, had
he ventured into the Chinese quarter OF
Shanghai. as two European officials were
recently attacked there while under the
charge Of a native. We hear q good deal
about Chinese courtesy. but neither here
nor in China do we get many glimpses oil

The San Francisco Report suggests
that u fund be raised for the widow OF
the late General Logan. This is a SEN
STOLE suggestion, aud it should be acted
on at once. The fact that Logan died
poor after so many years Of public life
will ever be a standing monument to his
honesty. Each Post of the G. A. r..
should allow it's members to contribute
a dollar apiece, and such contributions
in the aggregate would raise a handsome
amount of money for Mrs. Logan. Mes.
sages OF coincidence and finely turned
newspaper eulogies are all well enough in
their way. bat the sympathy that is the
genuine metal will manifest itself ia the
substantial remembrance to the surviv-
ing widow and children OF the dead.
Logan was q brave man in the war, and
there is not a soldier in all the North
who would refuse his contribution.
Beyond the soldiers, however, there will
not be much done. Several big cities
will appoint committees to solicit funds
for the Logan monument, but after the
dead is covered by the ground the pub.
lie feeling will die OUT just as it did in
the Ease Of General Grant, aud the mon.
umant will not bs finished. The soldiers,
however, are bound by closer ties, and
have Sympathetic memories for their old
comrades. They will raise the fund,
and be glad of the opportunity.

THE DOMINION ELECTIONS.
The Conservative Majority Greatly
Reduced.

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 23.-The smoke of the
great political battle Of yesterday is slowly
clearing away, and reveals many disappoint-
ments for both the parties to the conflict.
The Conservatives went into the fight with a
majority of 70 in the House Of Commons,
and came back with not over 20, and proba-
bly, with not over half that number.
ST. JOHN, N. b., Feb. 23-Everything is
confusion here yet and it is almost an i'm
possibility to tell how the opposing parties
stand in the province. The government
claims that it will go out of New Brunswick
with majority Of at least four, while the
opposition alleges that it will come out on
even terms.
In St. John the government party threw
political issues to the winds and went TO the
electors on the ground that Ellis Opposition
candidate) was in favor of annexation to the
United States. The fact that he was elected
at the head of the poll by majarity of over
200, shows that the people Of this city do not
think 1t sin to discuss such questions as an
Iexation.
MONTREAL, Feb. 2S.-The exact majority
will not be known for a day or two. The
largest Liberal gains have been in the Prov
ince Of Quebec, where, from majority of Sc
the Conservatives are in minority of 6.
This has been due chiefly to the Riel cry in
Nova Scotia. The Liberals expected to
sweep the country on the secession cry, but
the prestige of Sir Charles Upper, who is
majority. In Ontario again, the cry has
been that the national policy Is in danger.
While Blake was here in Montreal, trying to
reassure the merchants, and telling them
that the national party was in no danger, his
lieutenant, Sir Richard Cartwright, was
stumping against it in Ontario, and denounc-
ing it as a humbug and fraud. Still the gov
ernment's majority in Ontario has been re-
duced from % to IA.

BIsMARcK's RECRUITS.
Citizens of the United States Forced
into the German Army.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Feb. Ex-senator
Stephanson Of Shelbyville is preparing pa
pers which will be forwarded to Secretary
Bayard, calling his attention to the arrest by
the German government of Richard Rea
becker, a citizen Of Strasburg, Illinois. Rea-
becker is naturalized citizen of the Uni
ted States and has resided in Shelby county
for some years. In December he went to
Germany, arriving January 6, 1887. Three
DAYS later he was arrested and compelled to
enter the German army, and is still held a
prisoner subject to military service. These
facts will be set forth in the papers to be sent

GETTING UNDER WAY.
HIPS Friends Begin to Lay Wires for
His Nomination for President.

New YORK, Feb. 23.-Gov. Hills speech,
delivered last evening before the Young
Democratic Club of Brooklyn, is the talk Of
the town today, and the Governor has been
overwhelmed with congratulations. There
is no longer any doubt that Hill Is in the
Presidential race. After the banquet last
night the Governor held a conference with
half dozen of the leading Democrats of the
State, and they agreed to go ahead at once
and lay pipes for securing the delegates from
this State TO the next national convention
for HILL In two weeks these agents will be
at work; and by June Hill will have COM
plete poll of the State.
The movement is Of great significance and
shows that Hill intends to knock out Cleve-
land in his own State. Hills difficulty will
be to get control Of the rural delegates.
Tammany Hall, the County Democracy and
the Kings County Democracy can be count
ed upon for Hill in advance. The Governors
speech was received with the widest en-
thusiasm, and is published in full in nearly
all the newspapers here today.

MUTUAL ACCIDENT ASSOCIATION.
The Business of the Tenth Annual
Meeting.
Especial to the Press }

New YORK, Feb. 23.-The tenth annual
meeting of the United States Mutual Acct
dent Association was held at the Cooper In
Stitute this evening. The representation
of members was very large, and. embraced
nearly every ssection of the United States
and Canada. Mr.. Charles B. Peet presi-
dent Of the company, occupied the chair
In his address he announced that, after
long experience and basing its action on
elaborate statistics which Mr. James r.
Pitcher, the secretary, had been gathering
for the past seven years, it had been decided
to amend the by-lays, SO as to add the follow
ing new features to the company's business:
$4,000 for death by accident; $4,000 for loss
of hands or feet; $4,000 for loss of hands and
feet; $500 for loss of hand or foot; $250O for
both eyes; S165O for one eye; $3.50 for per-
manent total disability; 1925 per week for
temporary total disability; and double these
amounts under two policies. This step can
be taken without much increasing the cost
and all members are entitled to new policies
providing these benefits. The indemnity is,
like the death claims, to be paid promptly in
one sum. The Association has become the
standard by which all other mutual acci-
dent associations are gagged In 1886 the
expense ratio was reduced below that of any
stock company in the accident business, the
saving effected in that year being IS cents on
each dollar paid for losses, as a saving due
to the large volume of business and the close
watch over expenditures. AS showing the
unrivalled success of the company refer
ence was made by Mr.. Peet to the high COM
mendation Of the system and condition of
the company by the Insurance Commissioner
of Connecticut and the Examiners of the
New York Insurance Department Only a
few months ago Mr. Henry j. Remmund
Insurance Commissioner of the State of
Ohio, sent the following letter to James r.
Pitcher, secretary of the United States
Mutual Accident Association:
Upon a review of my recent examination
of your association / cannot refrain from
expressing to you my entire satisfaction over
its result. | could not conceive in the i'm
mense detail of an association like yours,
having membership Of over $4,000, that the
work could be so systematically conducted.
i found your books and accounts models of
correctness, even in the minutest detail of
your management, and with careful, honest
and economical management that has hereto
fore controlled the affairs of your associa-
tion, see. no reason why its success should
not be doubly assured"
The amendments to the bylaws were then
unanimously adopted. The secretary's re-
port showed the following splendid record:

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Explosion OF Hot Water Car Heater
Almost Another Holocaust.

DANvILLE, ILL.,, Feb. 23.-A hot water
heater In car on the Wabash road exploded
yesterday. Windows were blown out, both
ends Of the car shattered and the entire
ceiyed some Of the shock, several windows
being broken. At the time the car was filed
with sleeping passengers, who were thrown
in confusion about the floor. Some were
seriously injured by the broken glass and
pieces of iron and wood. Almost before the
train could be stopped and the passengers
rescued from their predicament the car
caught fire from the lamps which had been
shattered and from the fire under the heater,
and was almost entirely destroyed Enough
time was afforded, however, for the passen-
gers to secure a safer place. Had the train
been going between stations at the usual
high rate of speed, there might have been
another terrible holocaust.
